the application is later revived, even if
the application was abandoned due to
failure to respond to a non-final Office
action. Accordingly, a grantable petition
for revival of a participating application
that is abandoned must be accompanied
by a complete reply to any outstanding
SME rejection(s) of record, in addition
to the other requirements of such
petitions under 37 CFR 1.137 and Office
practice. Due to this particular response
requirement, a petition for revival of a
participating application may not be
filed as an e-Petition and instead must
be filed by: (1) Uploading the petition
and accompanying papers using a
USPTO electronic filing system (EFSWeb or Patent Center); (2) physical
delivery to the USPTO by way of the
United States Postal Service, another
delivery service, or by hand delivery to
the USPTO Customer Service Window;
or (3) facsimile. More information about
these delivery options is available at
www.uspto.gov/patents/apply/petitions/
02-where-file-petitions-requests-andrelated-inquiries-office.
An application participating in this
pilot program may participate in other
USPTO initiatives after final disposition
of the application if it satisfies the
conditions of those other initiatives.
Such initiatives include, for example,
the AFCP 2.0 Program, the Fast-Track
Appeals Pilot Program, the Fast-Track
for COVID–19-Related Appeals Pilot
Program, the Pre-Appeal Brief
Conference Pilot Program, and the
QPIDS Program. An application
participating in this pilot program may
also request special status or expedited
processing in connection with the filing
of an RCE (e.g., prioritized examination
under 37 CFR 1.102(e)(2)).

ELECTION ASSISTANCE COMMISSION
Agency Information Collection
Activities: EAC Federal Financial
Report
U.S. Election Assistance
Commission (EAC).
ACTION: Request for public comment on
standardized EAC Federal Financial
Report (EAC–FFR) to be used for both
interim and final financial reporting for
all EAC grants.
AGENCY:
As part of its continuing effort
to reduce paperwork burdens, and as
required by the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 (PRA), the U.S. Election
Assistance Commission (EAC) gives
notice that it is requesting from the
Office of Management and Budget
(OMB) approval for the information
collection EAC Federal Financial Report
(EAC–FFR).
DATES: Comments must be received by
5 p.m. Eastern on Tuesday, March 8,
2022.
SUMMARY:
To view the proposed EAC–
FFR format, see: https://www.eac.gov/
payments-and-grants/reporting.
For information on the EAC–FFR,
contact Kinza Ghaznavi, Office of
Grants, Election Assistance
Commission, Grants@eac.gov.
Written comments and
recommendations for the proposed
information collection should be sent
directly to Grants@eac.gov.
All requests and submissions should
be identified by the title of the
information collection.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The EAC
Office of Grants Management (EAC/
OGM) is responsible for distributing,
monitoring, and providing technical
assistance to states and grantees on the
use of federal funds. EAC/OGM also
reports on how the funds are spent,
negotiates indirect cost rates with
grantees, and resolves audit findings on
the use of HAVA funds.
ADDRESSES:
The EAC–FFR is employed for all
financial reports for grants issued under
HAVA authority. This revised format
builds upon that report for the various
grant awards given by EAC. A ‘‘For
Comment’’ version of the draft format
for use in submission of the FFR is
posted on the EAC website at: https://
www.eac.gov/payments-and-grants/
reporting. The FFR will directly benefit
award recipients by making it easier for
them to administer federal grant and
cooperative agreement programs
through standardization of the types of
information required in financial
reporting—thereby reducing their
administrative effort and costs.
After obtaining and considering
public comment, the EAC will prepare
the format for final clearance.
Comments are invited on (a) ways to
enhance the quality, utility, and clarity
of the information collected from
respondents, including through the use
of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology;
and (b) ways to minimize the burden of
the collection of information on
respondents, including through the use
of automated collection techniques or
other forms of information technology.
Description: The EAC proposes to
collect financial activity data for HAVA.
EAC will use this data to ensure
grantees are proceeding in a satisfactory
manner in meeting the approved goals
and purpose of the project.
The requirement for grantees to report
on performance is OMB grants policy.
Specific citations are contained in Code
of Federal Regulations TITLE 2, PART
200—UNIFORM ADMINISTRATIVE
REQUIREMENTS, COST PRINCIPLES,
AND AUDIT REQUIREMENTS FOR
FEDERAL AWARDS.
Respondents: All EAC grantees and
state governments.
